Ask HN: Using X vs. LinkedIn?

2 points by lalithaar ↗ HN
In X, I see it's easy to go viral and stuff and there seems to be engagement if you are consistent (and can pay for the plan and do hot takes)

while in linkedin, I saw many posts on how linkedin people often don't engage but then reach out when they have a problem

Anyone here who tried both, do let me know what's working for you folks

Really? I was told X is the worst converting platform out there. Maybe I am misinformed. Do you have any articles on that topic? I tried X in the past and the only thing I managed is that replies to pain signals did work, but it was a hardcore grind.

LinkedIn for B2B, hands down. We sell to hardware manufacturers and decision makers there actually check their feed. X we tried but couldn't figure out who we were even talking to. The "people don't engage but reach out when they have a problem" thing is real, we get DMs from posts that got zero likes.
